My manager just made me aware of my release date of 9/13. I will get the official email tomorrow.
Good luck to each of you that took the VSP, And good luck to each of you that are staying.

Congratulations all those that are leaving and thank you for your service.
As for all that decided to stay. I guarantee you by February 2025 you will all be wishing that you had pressed that button. Some will quit from the frustration post-bonus payout. Most will swear they will never again let the opportunity go to leave their tormentor.
I hope God helps those that are left.
So who is gonna be the first to get yelled at for putting the VSP button on their slack status?
9/13. IT 30 years. Heard IT was hit pretty hard. Lot of super stars accepted.
9/13 outta here. 60 vzb
I was also approved. I have 5 personal days to burn and it seems to make the most sense to take off the final week instead of taking time off now. anyone else doing this?
My manager didn't bother to contact me today. Looking forward to the email tomorrow.
I documented all of the outstanding projects. Many are complex and important, some with months to go before completion. None the less I was gleefully “congratulated” by my boss for being accepted, as if I had won the lottery? When I acted surprised by the September release and not March, he couldn’t have cared less. The odd part I harbor mixed feelings about leaving the work mid stream and dumping it on others and all the while my leadership couldn’t care less. If the VSP is a nice way to exit, will be curious how the next cycle are decruited or RIFF’d.
benefits and 401k are not deducted from severance pay
I was hoping for September, but got a March departure date.
At first I was disappointed, but, I will get another 6 months pay, plus the last 1/4 of my STI, and I won't end up in a ridiculous tax bracket for 2024.
I hope it works out well for all of you, regardless of what decision you made.
Sept 13 … I offered my assistance until Dec if needed when I first applied but who are we kidding - they don’t care for the future of this business. BUHHH BYEEE
Suspiciously my Sr Director was happy no one on the team applied for the VSP on a call today.
I applied. I did not take it back. Hopefully they are just considering me as not part of the team and I get an email tommorow with a sept date.
I was accepted with a departure date of 12/20
Guess I will have to wait till Wednesday. Wonder what time they will sent. By 11:30 ET?
9/13 Byeeeeee
13 Sep good f'n bye. Thanks for getting my kids thru school and my wife thru her final days. Now the swedish meatball can roll off a cliff of piled up half baked acquisitions and DEI policy for all I care. Best of luck to all that are staying. 25 years is enough. Im going to the beach.
No Benefit/401k deductions in the payout according to the Q&A document
Congrats everyone, I am off 9/13
@zor+1tZ8wGHU I could be wrong but the 35% includes benefits deductions. If you just calculate an effective tax rate it's around 20%
9/13 outbound
9/13 and I’m ecstatic. Valuing whether it’s worth just taking vacation and avoid the last week of September 6.
@tpt+1tZ8wGHU dates were determined by needs of the business. Very few of the total got March, slightly more in December and most in September.
Well I’m off today but if my boss wants to call me and let me know please feel free.
I’m outta here! 12/20 GCO! Good luck to everyone! Thanks Verizon it was good while it lasted. Grateful for the amazing team I worked with. I’m not bitter at all and I hope everyone can find their happy place after it’s all said and done!
I hope all Value GTS leaders in Miami get called up by V#I#V#E#K, they are all worthless
12/20 GNT
Does anyone know how they determine the sept Dec March dates? I thought March was almost impossible to get
Darn 35% tax bracket if leaving in 2024 with already yearly salary. That's probably half the VSP.... Unless they pay in 2025...Just talked to someone and they said "I probably should have looked at that first".
9/13 form me... 36 years
Has anyone heard of any denials? I am still waiting to hear anything from my manager.
There was 4 out of 10 in my group that got accepted for 9/13. All Ops employees.
December for me as well
12/20 GCO - good luck everyone!
9/13 as well for me. 37 years, it is time.
GTS Boston.
Good Luck All
